This seminar was initiated after many requests this year and future scheduling for this course is indefinite.

The home-study material will supplement a day’s worth of material to the three-day seminar to ensure grasp of the material.

PREREQUISITE: This course is held in Mandarin only at this time.

HANDS-ON TEACHING OF POINTS LOCATINGThis is a new class added this year (2014) due to the request from students seeking more instruction in the locating and needling of Tung's points. In this class, the focus will be entirely on the practice of locating and needling points. Therefore students must have completed the Complete Course of Tung's Acupuncture prior to attending this course.
